When the mercenaryBlack Thorns' DropShipBristol was brought to Wolcott by the Ellyohippus in this fashion, two other DropShips were bound for the pirate jump point.[2] This strongly implies they were both supposed to be moved out on the Ellyohippus and thereby that the Ellyohippus featured at least two functional hardpoints. However, it is theoretically also possible that there was a second unmentioned JumpShip operating alongside the Ellyohippus.
